Why Sensory Storytelling Is Changing the Way Kids Learn | NMACC Culture Conversations

Can storytelling become something children can see, touch, feel and experience? In this episode of NMACC Culture Conversations, @HrishikeshKannan speaks with Bhavisha Bafna Shah, curator of the immersive Gruffalo sensory storytelling workshop at NMACC Bachpan. From designing activities for children as young as 18 months to creating experiences that build motor, cognitive, emotional and language skills, Bhavisha shares the thought process behind transforming a beloved story into an interactive learning journey. She also discusses collaborating with NMACC, the role of parents in the workshop, and why sensory storytelling is changing the way children engage with stories. If you're a parent, educator or someone passionate about early childhood learning, this conversation offers fascinating insights into the power of play-based education.
